Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy-One

"Please wait a moment."

With a touch of confusion, he hastily spoke to the three people, then turned and quickly walked towards Xiao Yi.

This... the Divine Doctor he mentioned, couldn’t be this young fellow, could it?

The three people watched An Jinhua hurriedly walk toward Xiao Yi, their faces inevitably showing a look of puzzlement as they glanced at each other.

"Grandpa An, why are you here? Are you done with your treatment?"

It was only when An Jinhua reached Xiao Yi that Xiao Yi opened his eyes, looking at An Jinhua with surprise. After An Jinhua had passed by to treat the three people, he had closed his eyes, shutting off all his senses to recuperate. Consequently, he hadn’t heard any of the conversation or calls from An Jinhua’s side. He would only be aware of someone entering his sensory zone, within a perimeter of one meter around him.

This method of recuperation was taught to him by Beichen Feng in a small booklet, combined with the old methods passed down to him by the old man, and further refined through his own contemplation.

"Xiao Yi, are you alright? I was calling you just now but you didn’t respond, did you fall asleep? Are you feeling very sleepy?"

Without responding to Xiao Yi’s words, An Jinhua looked at Xiao Yi, who had opened his eyes, and expressed his concern.

"Er... this, I’m sorry, Grandpa An, I just... didn’t hear you. Uh, you called me, is there something you need?"

Xiao Yi then realized that Elder An had actually called him just now. Noticing the concerned expression on his face, he couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed and scratched his head, his eyes glancing in surprise at the three people still standing nearby, curious.

"This, Xiao Yi, that elder’s condition is very peculiar, I think, this time, we might still need to trouble you to take a look after all."

Once An Jinhua saw that Xiao Yi seemed to be fine, he eased up. Hearing Xiao Yi’s question, his face slightly showed an embarrassed expression.

"Er... this..."

Xiao Yi hadn’t expected that Elder An had come to call him over to treat the elder, his gaze flickered to the three people and his face showed a moment of hesitation. Originally, there was no issue with him treating the three of them. Back downstairs, in a moment of generosity, he had been prepared to offer treatment, only to be rejected and openly scorned by them.

Though he didn’t mind being scorned himself, or even when that woman spoke harshly, he could laugh it off. Yet his medical skills, which were passed down from the old man, were not to be despised. According to the old man’s rule, he wouldn’t treat that person again.

"Xiao Yi, is there something troubling you?"

Seeing the hesitant expression on Xiao Yi’s face, An Jinhua immediately became somewhat anxious.

After speaking, he seemed a bit embarrassed and pleadingly added, "Xiao Yi, I am really sorry, this time, we need your help again. But this elder is quite decent. Please consider it a favor to me and help him out."

"Elder An, it’s not a problem for me to treat them, but I will charge a fee according to the rules."

Xiao Yi, looking at Elder An’s expression, bit his lip and said.

"A fee?"

An Jinhua was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Yi with surprise. What was up with Xiao Yi today? In his memory, Xiao Yi was not a greedy person.

"Yes, a fee must be charged, and it won’t be low."

Xiao Yi nodded his head affirmatively.

"This... there shouldn’t be a problem, they shouldn’t be lacking money..."

An Jinhua, looking at the determined Xiao Yi, then turned to glance at the Sima Family’s trio not far away. He nodded, having discerned that the surname Sima likely belonged to no ordinary family. Average fees wouldn’t trouble him. However, he wondered about Xiao Yi’s attitude.

Could it be that Xiao Yi had encountered some issues and needed money? If that was the case, charging some money was not an issue, but he only hoped that Xiao Yi wouldn’t become enslaved by money.

Even though no one could fault him, his medical skills would be a pity, becoming merely a tool to serve the rich and powerful.

An Jinhua hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not ask Xiao Yi further, only saying, "Let’s go over now. I will introduce you, and you can discuss the specifics of the fee."

Saying this, he walked back toward the three people.

"Alright."

Xiao Yi nodded and followed in Elder An’s footsteps, approaching the three individuals.

"Mr. Sima, let me introduce to you, this is the Chief Physician of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at the Provincial People’s Hospital, Xiao Yi. Don’t be fooled by Xiao Yi’s youth, his medical expertise is incredibly profound and far surpasses mine."

An Jinhua brought Xiao Yi to the three people and introduced him.

He knew that the three of them had doubted Xiao Yi initially because of his youth, thinking he wasn’t a physician. To bolster Xiao Yi’s credibility, he specifically added the title of Chief Physician during the introduction.

"Chief Physician?"

Even though Old Mr. Sima and the middle-aged man had already begun to suspect when An Jinhua brought Xiao Yi over, they were still shocked when they heard it confirmed.

Especially when An Jinhua mentioned the Chief Physician, their mouths couldn’t help but twitch harshly.

The middle-aged woman beside them, in particular, had her mouth wide open, so wide it could hold two eggs. Was this young man, whom she had mocked just earlier, truly a physician? This...was inconceivable, right?

"Divine Doctor An, are...are you really not joking? Is he... is he really the ’Divine Doctor’ you mentioned?"

It took a while for the middle-aged man to come back to his senses. Still doubting as he looked at Xiao Yi, who appeared to be no older than thirty, he faced An Jinhua with confusion written all over his face.

Old Mr. Sima also wore a look of disbelief.

"Do you think I am joking?"

An Jinhua hadn’t expected their beliefs to be so deeply ingrained. Despite his introductions, they still harbored doubts. Glancing at Xiao Yi beside him, he couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

He had good intentions in introducing Xiao Yi to treat them, and it had been difficult to persuade Xiao Yi to agree to help. Yet, they doubted him so much that he almost regretted interfering. He thought maybe he should have just let them leave and possibly die from their illnesses, which wouldn’t be his fault.

"That...."

Realizing that An Jinhua was getting unhappy, Old Mr. Sima, not wanting to offend him, hurriedly prepared to explain.

"If I’m not mistaken, elder sir, you must feel extremely fatigued every morning and evening, particularly in the morning. It’s hard for you to get out of bed, and you even need someone’s help to do so. Moreover, this condition has been getting progressively worse, hasn’t it?"

Xiao Yi calmly interrupted him and stated directly.

"How do you know that?"

Old Mr. Sima almost jumped up, staring incredulously at Xiao Yi. The middle-aged man and the woman who was about to question Xiao Yi, as well as Ordinary Jinhua beside him, all wore shocked expressions. Seeing the reactions of Old Mr. Sima and the others only deepened his astonishment. He knew Xiao Yi was a genius in medicine, but this was beyond miraculous!

Without anything, just by looking, he knew all this? And these details were not even mentioned when they were discussing the medical conditions earlier!

"Has your mouth been becoming paler, and sometimes feeling a bit spicy, easy to blister? And at night, do your eyes feel gritty and do you hear a buzzing sound in your ears?"

Xiao Yi, completely ignoring their stunned expressions, continued to speak calmly, focusing only on Old Mr. Sima facing him.

"Divine, absolutely divine!"

The words of Xiao Yi struck like thunder in Old Mr. Sima’s mind, buzzing loudly. It took him a while to recover, his face filled with excitement as he stared intently at Xiao Yi, repeatedly exclaiming with emotion. All these details he had not mentioned earlier — not because he was deliberately concealing them, but because Divine Doctor An hadn’t asked and he had forgotten to mention them. Some of them, he hadn’t even completely realized himself until Xiao Yi described them so aptly—this was indeed the case!

For example, his gritty eyes, he never associated them with his medical condition. He thought it was normal since many people experience it.

In that moment, he no longer doubted Xiao Yi’s medical skills or the identity that An Jinhua had introduced!

So, it was all true!

He... he was indeed a physician, and a highly skilled one at that!

The middle-aged man and the woman beside him, seeing Xiao Yi standing there with such a composed demeanor, so different from the easy-going youth who had spoken to them before as if he had transformed into a different person, felt their minds buzzing.

Wait a second... he really is a physician... Then, when he spoke downstairs, it wasn’t to forge a connection, but he actually noticed something. He wanted to discuss their medical condition?

But... but they didn’t believe him before, not only did they not believe him, but they even mistook him... and spoke to him with that tone... especially that woman... who had said so much...

The middle-aged man suddenly thought of the incident downstairs, and cold sweat began streaming down his forehead. (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote and support me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
